Bingham Number Formula Elements

Variables
Bingham Number
Bingham Number, abbreviated as Bn, is a dimensionless quantity.
Symbol: Bn
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be less than 101.
Shear Yield Strength
Shear Yield Strength is the strength of a material or component against the type of yield or structural failure when the material or component fails in shear.
Symbol: Ssy
Measurement: PressureUnit: N/m²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Characteristic Length
A characteristic Length is usually the volume of a system divided by its surface.
Symbol: Lc
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Absolute Viscosity
Absolute Viscosity is the measurement of the fluid's internal resistance to flow.
Symbol: μa
Measurement: Dynamic ViscosityUnit: Pa*s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Velocity
Velocity is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction) and is the rate of change of the position of an object with respect to time.
Symbol: v
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
